Emerging Markets Equity — Reason for Concern?

After a strong 2017, emerging markets (“EM”) equities have struggled to keep pace with their U.S. counterparts in 2018. Year-to-date through August 31, 2018, the MSCI Emerging Markets equity index has underperformed the S&P 500 by 17.1%. EM equities gave up an 8.3% gain in January with a streak of weakness from February through August.
